I have a Whirlpool E50R6-120 hot water heater, not sure of the age. It works great, we just bought the house. My question is this - There is a black cap on top marked anode, i removed the cap which was adhered with foam. dug around a bit and no anode as far as i can tell. I removed the hot water nipple after draning heater, water was clean. On the nipple was a piece of metal maybe 6-8 inches long, but it was not corroded at all. any ideas on what is happening here. Is this a nipple anode that is simply gone.
Thanks in advance
